Weird Windows 2003 Share cannot be found by Win XP laptop not on the domain - Help Needed

I am using XP SP2 and need to access a windows share on server A (Windows 2003 Server).
This server is on another domain as my laptop and has IP address 192.168.1.1. When
I try to go to a server shared folder on my laptop I can't find it by selecting \\192.168.1.1
and get error the "network path was not found" when typing in the run command. I
don't even get an authentication username and password popup.
However I can access windows shares on server B \\192.168.1.2 (i get the username
and password popup) which is also WIndows 2003 server and on the same domain as server
A.
The strange thing is that I can access the shared folders on 192.168.1.1 when I am
remotely in 192.168.1.2 but not directly from my PC.
I can't understand why I can access the one server but not the other as their setups
look exactly the same.
My IP is auto assigned and is in the 172 range.
My laptop is on another domain than the servers and I am not connected to my domain
as I am offsite.
I can remote desktop into both servers IPs.
I can ping both servers IPs
I can only access the one server shares and not both???
How can I access the folder share on the 192.168.1.1 directly as I need to copy a
file to my machine that is very large and can't copy from server A to server B to
my machine due to size limitations on server B. so my problem is I can't see the
share on server A to copy to my laptop and I am stuck.
Any help?
